If Ever I Fall (15 page)

“You already said all I needed to hear. Now we move forward. I want to be your future Laney. I want to block out all that was bad in the past and show you how bright the future is.” His words touch my soul. No one has ever made me feel like this or understood me the way Gavin does.

“I just…” Gavin’s lips on my neck again stop my words from forming.

“Have a little faith in me Laney.” He doesn’t miss the gasp. I do have faith in him. More now than I ever thought I could.

Sitting here in his arms my world is almost complete. The hollow feeling in my chest isn’t so consuming anymore. The weight on my back has lifted further and I can breathe easier.

I never thought this day would come where I let a piece of my old self go and look towards the newer better me but Gavin is slowly but surely pushing the past away where it belongs.

“You amaze me every time you open your mouth.” Gavin pulls back giving me that little cocky grin of his.

“There’s a lot I can do with this mouth when you’re ready.” My mouth drops open knowing his mom is in the front seat of the car. I can’t believe he just announced that!

“You are vulgar man.” Gavin chuckles that deep sexy chuckle that sets my insides on fire.

“You love this vulgar man.” His lips press a quick kiss to mine before he sits back.

“Guess I can’t argue with that.”

“You wouldn’t win.” Slapping him in the chest, I snuggle into him as we keep driving.

“Tell me about your grandma.” I want to know about his family but more so I want to know if she is in any way like Mrs. Shaffer was.

“She’s the sweetest toughest person I know. She loved my grandpa with all she had until the day he died. It devastated her. She lost her way for a while but she would always tell us that she found herself again for us. She put her heart into loving and she showed it to all of us. When all that shit happened in my past, I came to stay with her for a while to clear my head. We talked all night some nights sitting out on the porch with hot chocolate. She told me that my heart is one of pure gold. That I have the heart of my grandpa and only a special soul can touch it. I thought my world was ending but she showed me that it was just beginning. I stayed with her for months and she always had more to say. She never runs out of thoughts. You will love her. She is the best but she can be evil too.” Gavin laughs at the last part. She sounds amazing but now I need to share a part of me, it’s time.

“Mrs. Shaffer would always tell me that true love wasn’t a fairy tale. She said I would know when I found it because my soul would connect to theirs and there wouldn’t be a thing I could do about. I always questioned love and family after what happened but she always made me feel special. She told me she could never give me the love of a family because it wasn’t possible but she could give me the love of her heart. She did too.” A single tear falls before Gavin leans in and kisses it away.

“You’re soul connected to mine Laney.” His voice is soft and full of love before my playful Gavin is back. “And there isn’t a damn thing you can do. HA! You’re stuck with me!”

God, I really do love this man.

                                
 
Gavin

“Grandma, really? Let her out of that damn choke hold.”  My grandma has hugged everyone that came in but she won’t let Laney go. I love seeing them together though. It sets something at ease inside of me.

“Shut your mouth Gavin. Us ladies are having a moment.” Laney smiles a sad smile and I know she’s remembering Mrs. Shaffer.

“Give me my lady back.” Tugging Laney’s arm, grandma reluctantly lets go. Stubborn old woman.

“You got a good one there I can feel in these old bones.” She winks at me as I wrap my arm around Laney.

“The only thing you’re feeling in those old bones is arthritis.” Chuckling at the look on her face, Laney slaps me.

“You watch it Gavin. That one there is a fighter, I can see it.” Grandma winks at Laney before she walks away, her little body still carrying her around today. I miss my grandpa but grandma makes up for him not being here. She’s a witty old woman that keeps me laughing.

“I love her already.” Laney whispers against me.

“How in the hell do you love her already? I’ve waited months for you to love me.”  Tickling her sides a little, I lean in and kiss her on the top of her head.

“She reminds me of Mrs. Shaffer.”  Just like I knew it would.

“I know. Come on let’s take our bags upstairs.”  Laney bends over to grab her bag and I can’t stop myself from staring at her ass. It’s a nice ass.

“Are you going to stare at my ass or get the other bag?” Ahh, there’s my little smart ass.

I grab the bags from her and head towards the stairs with her right behind me.

“Are you looking at my ass now?” I joke with her as I walk up the stairs shaking my ass a little for her enjoyment. She surprises me when she slaps the hell out of it.

“Didn’t know you were that kinky.” Laney laughs before she follows me down the hallway.

“When you said a cabin, I thought a little cabin. You didn’t say anything about it being the size of a freaking resort.”  As soon as Laney steps foot in the room I drop the bags and slam the door shut.

With one hand around her waist and the other gripping her cheek, I push her against the door.

My lips claim hers in ways that they never have. Her lips part letting me into everything that she has. Our tongues dance as they slide against each other in the most sensual of ways.

My hand slides over the slight curve of her hip and down to grip her ass making her moan into my mouth. I’m not going to go any further with her right now, I know she isn’t ready but I can give her a little preview.

Her lips are so perfect against mine I don’t want to stop, so I don’t. I let my hand run around her body to the front of her jeans and rub gently through the soft fabric.

I capture all her little moans in my mouth as her body grinds into my hand.

“You want it?” It’s only a question but she tenses anyway. I know she doesn’t want to do anything but hell; I want to get her off somehow.

I see the look in her eyes before I crush her lips with mine again. When she tugs at my hair I almost lose it in my jeans.

My hand slides into the front of her jeans and her whole body turns rock hard.

“I’m only touching you baby. That’s it, I promise.” Seeing the silent acknowledgment in her eyes just makes my dick harder.

I pull back to flick the button of her jeans and unzip them before she has her arms around my neck pulling me back into her. Damn I love when she does that.

My fingers find her wet and ready for me, that only makes me smile against her.

I slide my finger inside of her catching her gasps with my own as I slide in and out of her. Her body reacts to me just the way I want it to with her grinding her body against me.

“You’re so fucking wet Laney. Did I do this to you?” Searching her eyes, I want every piece of this girl.

“You do so much more than that.” Feeling her body tighten around my fingers, I move my lips to her neck. Gentle bites that shove her over the edge were all she needed.

Her wetness coats my fingers before I pull them out of her jeans. Her breathing is slowing but mine isn’t. She is so damn beautiful.

“I need to go finish something.” Looking down she sees my hard on and smiles.

“Maybe I can finish it.” Holy shit! Laney slides down to her knees and I’m already about to explode just seeing her there.

“Baby, this isn’t a good idea. I’m not going to last that long.” Her eyes flicker to mine and hold there as she licks her lips and pulls my jeans down.

With her little hands wrapped around my dick, she slides them up and down before I feel her lips. Those soft fucking lips wrap around me like a glove before she sucks.

“Shit! Fuck, Laney.” Growling between my teeth I try to stand still but shit she is killing me.

Looking down I watch her head bob as she takes me deeper, sucking like a vice.

When her teeth graze my skin I can’t hold on anymore. There is too much built up sexual tension between us and this is pushing me over the top.

“FUCK! Let me go to the bathroom baby.” I try to pull back but she grips my ass with one of her hands keeping me in place.

“Laney I’m warning you. Shit! I can’t…. fuck!” I lose it. That last suck of hers just fucked me over. I lose it as she takes every last drop of me. I never knew the girl had it in her.

                             
 
Laney 

If looks could kill, Gavin would be dead right now. If he doesn’t stop sticking his tongue to his cheek and mimicking the blow job I nicely handed him yesterday I’m going to kick his ass.

“Gavin Brian!” His grandma yells at him and I almost piss myself in laughter. He got caught! Oh my god! This has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.

“Grandma.” He looks over at her with a slight grin before she hits him with a towel.

“You leave that girl alone. Go cut down the damn tree before we don’t have one.” I can’t help but laugh at her. Edith is a mighty old woman.

“Yes ma’am.” He mock salutes her and I swear she is going to slap him.

Gavin stands and grabs me up roughly pulling me against him.

“GAVIN! Stop being rough with her! Boy what is wrong with you?” I instantly lose it. My fit of giggles takes over.

“Grandma, she likes it rough it’s ok.” As red as her face is right now you would think she was coming in for the kill.

Gavin laughs before dragging me over to the door and passing me my coat.

“You’re grandma is going to beat your ass.” I slide my arms in my jacket and watch as he does the same.

“She loves me. She can’t help it.” Gavin winks as we step out the front door into the crisp winter air.

This place is truly amazing. It’s so picturesque like something you would see in magazine articles, not someone’s home.

We walk for a while as I take in the view. Trees line everything in sight but with the light hitting the snow that adorns them, it’s magnificent.

“Look at this one. It’s perfect.” I wouldn’t know what the perfect tree is, I’ve never had one.

I stand like a fool looking at it until Gavin speaks again.

“You never had a tree did you?” He must be able to tell by the look on my face. I shake my head and watch his smile fade. I don’t want that, the pity.

“I think this will make the perfect first tree.” My words must touch something inside of him; his smile comes back to life.

I stand back and watch as Gavin works to cut the tree down before he pulls his coat and shirt off.

“Have you lost your mind? It’s freezing.” I yell at him as he passes me the clothing he just striped out of in the 2 degree weather.

“I’m hot. Look.” He holds his arms to reveal his sweaty body to me. I guess hand cutting a tree would be hard work.

I stand back and marvel at the beauty of his strong body. The way they move as he works the saw. His muscles are amazing and with them covered in sweat the way they are, they are perfect.

“Eye fucking me again?” His breathless voice stirs something inside of me. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone the way I want him right now.

“You’re beautiful.” My words take him by surprise. He straightens up and drops the saw before moving quickly towards me. Wrapping his sweaty body around me, his lips crash into mine.  I can feel the need and want that he has in this kiss.

Our tongues collide in an explosion of touches before Gavin pulls back and looks at me.

“God Laney. When I get you in bed one of these days, I am going to love you like no one ever has.” As quickly as he was here he’s back to the tree.

My insides shiver with the thoughts of what he just said to me.

After Gavin has the tree cut down and we make our trek back to the house, I see Sean still isn’t there.  I wonder where he is.
